If you're losing the battle against a persistent bad habit, an addiction, or a temptation, and you're stuck in a repeating cycle of good intention-failure-guilt, you will not get better on your own. You need the help of other people. Some temptations are only overcome with the help of a partner who prays for you, encourages you, and holds you accountable.

While we wait for God to work for us, God is waiting to work through us.

I'm not getting to heaven on my integrity. I'm not getting to heaven on my goodness.

Some people are going to have to die or leave.

All things work for bad for those living in opposition to God and insist on having their own way.

You can use your time to build bridges or walls.The latter is not only unChristlike, it limits impact & creates loneliness.

Between this day and the next you will give your life to something. The decision on what that will be will shape your destiny.
